tube monoblocks and preamp recommendations


I have recently acquired a set of Altec Model 19s. In my mind, these would be great with tube monoblocks and a preamp.  I would like to keep modern conveniences in mind(remote, input for downloaded/streaming content).  I value any advice thrown my way.  Ideally, I would like to keep below $5,000 but understand I may have to pay more for something that is not integrated.  Thanks all!

As far as room size, will the sound be impacted by not having a back wall more than 30 feet away?  Again, the speakers are in a loft, where we'll be listening, but directly behind the seats will be that large open room. 

One other point I failed to mention, the sitting position is only roughly 10 feet from the speakers.  Is that far back enough?  ...Do I need to consider another location for these speakers?

 Thank you all for your time and consideration.   

The system will have to fill that space behind you. In a case like this I would go with more power rather than less.
Get a pair of Altec 1569a's.  I used to drive a pair of model 17s with them.  Was a great combination.

Another vote for Quicksilver. I use Silver Monos(90 watts) with an Atmasphere UV-1 preamp. Great sound and under your budget.
